IU opened the second half on an 18-2 run to squash any hopes lowly Penn State may have had. The Nittany Lions, who finished Pat Chambers inaugural season with a 12-20 overall record, never got any closer than 13 points the rest of the contest.

Frazier, who also landed on the Big Ten All-Defensive team, finished with a game-high 26 points, but his efficiency waned as the game progressed. He ended the game just 9-of-24 from the field, good for 37 percent shooting.

Indiana advances to the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten tournament for the first time since 2008. IU is set to play No. 4 Wisconsin Friday afternoon.
